About This Home

Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a 4-bedroom, 2-bath lakefront cottage on beautiful Lake Lanier-complete with your own private dock and dock permit. With no HOA and direct lake access, this property offers the perfect blend of freedom, recreation, and potential. This spacious home features over 2,100 square feet with a ranch-style layout on a finished basement. The main level offers 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and an open floor plan highlighted by a cozy wood-burning fireplace with stove insert-perfect for relaxing after a day on the water. Step out onto the large back deck and take in peaceful lake views. The finished basement includes 2 additional bedrooms, 1 bath, and a second wood-burning fireplace, along with sliding glass doors that open to a covered porch. From here, enjoy easy access to the lake, plus both interior and exterior entry to the main level-ideal for guests or multi-generational living. Concrete steps lead you down to your private dock, making lake days effortless. The property also offers ample parking space for boats, trailers, and all your recreational toys.
